Tanzania Southern Circuit Safari.

This 8-Day Tanzania Southern Circuit Safari offers a remarkable opportunity to immerse yourself in the wildlife of some of the largest parks and reserves in the region. Your trip will begin at Nyerere National Park. This is the first largest wilderness area in the southwest of Tanzania. It is one of the best destinations in Africa for out-of-vehicle experiences. For example, take a boating safari and encounter the region’s wildlife from a different, often less-threatening position. In addition, you can cruise with a cocktail in hand on a leisurely pontoon trip. Meanwile, you can also set off on a guided bush walk for an in-depth look at the wilderness. This guided walk focuses on the small species and intimacies of nature. These are things you might miss from a vehicle.

Moreover, the second leg of your trip is through Ruaha National Park. The park is famous for predators and home to good numbers of lion, leopard and wild dog. Large herds of elephant and buffalo are common and there are plenty of antelope around too. The best way to see them all is on a game drive. In fact, 4×4 safaris depart in the early morning and afternoon. Furthermore, your trip will continue in Nyerere National Park.

Throughout this safari, you’ll enjoy top notch luxurious accommodations, allowing you to focus solely on creating unforgettable memories.
